Star in It's summary Of the result Of the
election in Hamilton county says The
total vote was Gi,sll, which Is dCct 5000

5000 less than the presidential vote In
1884. II was an election Of surprises The
Republicans were confident oi victory, but
they really did not anticipate such an over
whclming victory. The iact that Foraker
leads Powell in this county 10y nearly 700

Democrats and Union Labor men, speaks

Hewitt, is well done, good and faithful
servants. We cannot overcstimate the
significance of this verdict in its effect upon
national politics. Whatever the faults of
the Democrats in the past, they have fully
won back public confidence. Whether
this is owing to the conservative policy OF
Cleveland, or his natural instinct to be
honest, we do not know. But il is u fact,
and the New York elections confirm it,
that the Democratic party is today, 10 use

That provision of the school
law, which requires teachers act
nally engaged 10 their profession
to be re-examined every year, is a
mere catch-pcnny, designed to
mulch the teachers for the benefit
Of the Superintendent. A law
which forces a teacher holding a
frst-elass certificate to be re-exam-
ined at the beginning Of every
scholastic year, is about as sensi-
bic as would be a statute requir-
ing every lawyer to be examined
for license TO practice, at the begin
ming Of each term Of the Court.

The big-appropriationists have
struck a new vein, which they cal
culate viii help them to boom the
"gilded elephants" and hold the
people subseryient to their de-
mands awhile longer. The scheme
is to establish in each county ih the
State two Academies, one white
and one oolored at the county seats,
as a sort of intermediate or graded
school at which students may be
prepared for College. This is al
very nice if it were not for the fact
that it embraces the idea of gov
ernment establishing more institu-
tions to rival the efforts of profess
ional educators. and to compete
with them in the race of life, and
more taxes to the people. The
trouble with these High School gen
try is, they overlook the fact that
the common schools ars the basis Of
our educational system and should
therefore be first cared for; after
which academies, colleges, semina-
ries and universities might be adj
ded unto Us as the taxpayers are
